01 What Black Series publishes
Black Series RV Inc., of Upland, California, lists 8 off-road travel trailers and toy haulers for 2027. Black Series prints a dry weight for every one, and each has a page of its own here. It prints a GVWR for every one too. Black Series prints no cargo carrying capacity for any model, and this site does not compute one. (How the data is verified.)

Read from Black Series’ 2027 Spec & Pricing Guide, 5 Nov 2026. “Not published” means the maker prints no figure; nothing is filled from another model, year or dealer.
03 Reading Black Series’ figures
A maker’s published weight is for a base trailer; options and dealer-installed equipment add weight to any particular unit. The federal weight label inside the trailer carries its own unloaded weight, cargo carrying capacity and GVWR (49 CFR 567 and 571.120): read it on the unit itself before any towing decision.
05 Recalls
NHTSA lists 1 recall campaign affecting this line. The earliest was reported 25 Feb 2021 and the most recent 25 Feb 2021.
| Reported | Campaign | Component | What can go wrong |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25 Feb 2021 | 21V116000 | Equipment | An overloaded electrical system can increase the risk of a fire. |
Coverage is not complete: this list is a starting point, not a clearance (how it is built), so check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy and again before you tow.
This count covers every RV model NHTSA lists under Black Series, including the older C-series and HQ19T / HQ22T campers, as this page covers the maker’s whole roster.

How this count is drawn. A report is counted here only when NHTSA’s own model field names this line. What the owner typed in the description is never used to attribute a report: our line names are ordinary English words, and an owner writing “imagine my surprise when the axle went” or naming the state of Montana is not reporting a Grand Design Imagine or a Keystone Montana.
Read these as reports, not as findings. Complaints are submitted by owners and NHTSA does not verify them; no complaint here has been confirmed as a defect, and none of them is a recall. The sample is also self-selected — only owners motivated to file appear in it — so a high count tracks how many units a line sold at least as much as how well it was built. Use the pattern, not the total: a component that keeps recurring is worth inspecting on any used unit. File or search complaints at NHTSA.
